Why choose Forbidden Mechanical?

We know how important it is to keep your vehicles and equipment up and running. Downtime is lost time, and lost time is lost money. That’s why our skilled team of mechanics and parts experts will do everything they can to apply the appropriate repairs, as quickly as possible, without compromising the quality of our service. Our goal is to minimize the downtime of your vehicles and equipment. That’s why we are your one-stop-shop for Traction Courtenay parts and automotive services.

Where is our shop located and/or what if I can’t make it there?

Our shop in Courtenay is the base of our operations. It’s where we offer routine service, scheduled repairs and where we conduct certified commercial vehicle inspections. See directions below. But that doesn’t help you if you have a diesel engine that’s stuck in the woods near Port Alberni. That’s why we also provide mobile repairs: 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, anywhere on Vancouver Island.
